Barrett, University of Regina, Canada  \nAbstract  \nGiven that feminist poststructuralism disrupts countless notions many of us have been “raised” with, conceptualizing what feminist poststructuralism might mean for understanding and enacting environmental education research and practice can be difficult. This paper articulates understandingsand assumptions of poststructuralism and explores how it has enabled me to come to know in a way that I would not otherwise. I am not claiming that feminist poststructural research necessarily produces better knowledge, but that it produces different knowledge than that undertaken by positivist, interpretivist or critical approaches. Linking theoretical discussion to onthe-ground examples, I examine notions of subjectivity, agency and the constitutive nature of discourse. I then discuss what is particularly feminist about this work and finally, close with a brief discussion of how these notions have prompted a shift in the kinds of questions I am asking in my doctoral research.  \nRésumé  \nÉtant donné que leféminisme post structuraliste perturbe un grand nombrede notions avec lesquelles plusieurs d’entre nous avons été « élevés », la conceptualisation de ce que leféminisme post structuraliste peut signifier, dans la compréhension et la disposition des recherches et des pratiques en éducation environnementale, peut être difficile. Cet article exprime bien les entendements et les suppositions du post structuralisme et explore comment celam’a rendu capable d’en arriver à connaître d’une façon que je n’aurais pas pu comprendre autrement. Je n’allègue pas que la recherche sur leféminisme post structuraliste engendre un meilleur savoir, mais elle donne lieu à un différent savoir que celui assumé par les approches positivistes, interprétatives ou critiques. En associant des discussions théoriques à des exemples pratiques, j’examine des notions de subjectivité, d’agence ainsi que la nature constitutive du discours. Je discute alors de ce qui est particulièrementféministe au sujet de ce travail et finalement, je termine par une brève discussion sur comment ces notions ont incité un changement de cap dans la sorte de questions que je me pose dans ma thèse de doctorat.  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 10, Spring 2005 79  \nRecent papers in this journal (e.g. Gough & Whitehouse, 2003; McKenzie, 2004b) and discussions elsewhere (e.g. Bell & Russell, 2000; Gough & Sellers, 2004; McKenzie, in press, a, b; Whitehouse, 2001, 2002) have pointed to both the value and challenges of feminist poststructural theorizing for environmental education.“Poststructuralism,” according to Elizabeth St. Pierre and Wanda Pillow (2000),“offers critiques and methods for examining the functions and effects of any structure or grid of regularity that we put into place, including those poststructuralism itself might create”(p. 6) . It takes up the postmodern notion of “incredulity towards metanarratives” (Lyotard, 1979/1993, p. xxiv) but in doing so, does not assume that narratives are never shared. Instead, it does claim that shared cultural narratives, or discourses, are social constructions and that their processes of production are worth examining. Poststructuralism does not assume to replace the structures of modernism or suggest a linear progression from modernism to postmodernism and structuralism to poststructuralism. Instead, through deconstruction, poststructuralism “posts” both modernist and postmodernist structures for viewing and analysis.  \nPoststructural analysis reveals ways in which dominant discourses can trap us in “conventional meanings and modes of being”(Davies, 1990, p. 1) . It enables us to see ways in which cultural narratives and structures of notions such as humanism, critical theory/pedagogy, modernism, and scientismare produced, regulated, and productive of the subject.
